Introduction

Ethic is a normative, required science, ethic must be studied “not only for finding out

what is virtue but mostly for becoming virtue.”

Ethic, one of the most important branch of philosophy initiates itself in solving moral

problems through a cognitive way, by knowing the good and the evil, by recognizing the duty

each of us has to the society and to each of us.

We cannot speak about ethic without mentioning the three great philosophers,

learners, views of Ancient Greece, that is Socrate, Platon and Aristotel. Even if the theories,

these three great philosophers developed are in essence different, the common point we find

even in the contemporary ethic theories is represented by the fact that happiness, virtue, good

and rationality are included in the philosophic speech about ethic. The Greeks said that, the

individual has to “follow the supreme good which is not limited to compliance with certain

rules of behavior but it focuses on the constantly search upon the himself and by means of his

capacities and the most important quality of the individual is the reason.”

This way of explaining the world we leave in, of explaining and understanding the

human being, that is by rational thought, affected the entire Western world, including the

theology. As a consequence of this influence, the main objective of the scholars, as School of

philosophy was the combination of reason, called also “the natural light” and theology. I

mention here Toma d’ Aquino who said that “reason becomes a pioneer for theology”
